§ Mr. HOFFMANasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the villagers of Canewdon, Essex, have to pay per bucket for water; and if he will make representations to the Rochford Rural District Council to secure adequate facilities being provided?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYMy attention has been drawn to this matter, but I will have inquiries made.
§ Mr. J. HARRISasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, since an increase of 66⅔ in the water rate for the district of Crawley was sanctioned, the water company has continued to refrain from carrying out its statutory obligations to provide a continuous supply of pure and wholesome water, thereby imperilling the health and life of the inhabitants: and whether he will draw the immediate attention of this company to its default?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI am aware that complaints have been made as to the water supply afforded by the company in question, and I am having the matter further investigated.
